Anyone else concerned Watkins could be benched against Luton?
Possibly (probably) overthinking here, but it looks like he played almost the full 90 last night. As I understand it, Villa have usually rotated by starting Duran in Europe and Watkins in the league, but AZ Alkmaar was meant to be their hardest group game (even if they won 4-1 in the end).
With the next league game "only" being Luton, is there a chance they flip the rotation round this week and start Duran against Luton, or just trust Watkins to start two games with a short turnaround this once? For reference, Diaby started on the bench and Luiz was taken off much earlier.
I'm asking because I don't have Watkins and my only way to him (without major hits/surgery) is to lose Haaland, at least for this week. I'm mainly OK with that, but obviously less so if I might only get 15 minutes out of Watkins. Just wondering if anyone who pays more attention to Villa than me has any insight. Thanks!
